Doctor! Doctor!
|
|
I saw you there, just standing there And I thought I was only dreaming yeah I kissed you then, then once again You said you would come and dance with me Dance with me across the sea And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling? Ships at night give such delight We all leave before the morning light Please don't go no please don't go Cause I don't want to stay here on my own Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling? Fever breathe your love on me (breathe your love) Take away my name (take away) Fever lay your hands on me (breathe your love) Never be the same Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling? Come with me and make believe We can travel to eternity |

You Take Me Up
|
|
I work on the front line, I work to survive And I sleep in a fever, so this is my life I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy) It just makes me weep when I try, how I try I know what it means to work hard on machines It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why Looking for reasons (day in, day out) Trying too hard (he's trying too hard) Moving in circles (too hot, too hot) Don't get very far (don't get very far) Should I ask you to dance? (dance boy, dance boy) If I promise romance would you come for the ride? I know what it means to work hard on machines Do you believe in love, one that lasts for all time? You take me up, oh hoh, You take me up to the higher ground You take me up so high Now I never want to come back down I'm glad in these hard times (day in, day out) There's hope in your eyes (hope in his eyes) I don't need a religion (too hot, too hot) Cause this love never dies (love never dies) I believe in today (believe boy, believe boy) It's better that way and you work through the night I know what it means to work hard on machines It's a labour of love, so please don't ask me why You take me up, oh hoh, You take me up to the higher ground You take me up so high Now I never want to come back down I cry in my sleep (cry boy, cry boy) It just makes me weep when I try, how I try I know what it means to work hard on machines It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why You take me up, oh hoh, You take me up to the higher ground You take me up so high Now I never want to come back down |

Day After Day
|
|
I'm always treading on dangerous ground And everything seems to be upside down Are you practicing for judgement day? Or do you really mean those things you say? Day after day, night after night There's a panic in this heart of mine Day after day, night after night I'm looking for something that's just too hard to find I'm not the man you wanted me to be He's kept alive inside your fantasy But now the magic me is fading fast Let me remind you of the face behind the mask Day after day, night after night There's a panic in this heart of mine Day after day, night after night I'm looking for something that's just too hard to find Can't you see there's just no promised land, doesn't happen that way I hope you'll try and understand there's nothing I can do or say Day after day, night after night There's a panic in this heart of mine Day after day, night after night I'm looking for something that's just too hard to find |

Sister of Mercy
|
|
She lives in a big white house The rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life of keeping this house just right, ooh, ooh The weekends are perfectly nice ooh, ooh And she doesn't talk when he comes home at night Twenty five years she's just the same She's a lonely woman, quiet in her ways Then he comes home one night She kills him with a knife Now she's the one who's a living in paradise (Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy Oh, don't cry for me (sister of mercy) No sister of mercy It's all alright for me Now she sits in a big white chair In a room that's not so different to the one back there She turns her face to the light But she is blinded by her life You can hear her cry alone at night (Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy Oh, don't cry for me (sister of mercy) No sister of mercy It's all alright for me So have mercy on that woman you don't know the way it's been You don't know the trouble her eyes have seen Can you feel the kiss of life when you come home at night? Well, you better not turn your back on a paradise (Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy Oh, don't cry for me (sister of mercy) No sister of mercy It's all alright for me Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy) Sister of mercy oh, oh Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy) Sister of mercy oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |

No Peace for the Wicked
|
|
There's a scandal in the city, lots of rumors flying round I gave them all my money, what I lost they found Sometimes I think they're madder than hatters having tea Setting up the situation to destroy the scenery (There's no peace) No peace for the wicked We're dancing till we drop (There's no rest) No rest for the wicked And we're all too scared to stop Oh can't you see the trouble? It causes me much pain Cause I don't understand Why should I stand out in the rain? Sometimes I think they're madder than hatters having tea Setting up the situation to destroy the scenery (There's no peace) No peace for the wicked We're dancing till we drop (There's no rest) No rest for the wicked And we're all too scared to stop Satellites spin through the air, suffragettes are everywhere When the headlines hit the streets they're gonna knock you off your feet Satellites spin through the air, acrobats of atmosphere Maybe love will disappear I wonder if you really care There's two people on the wire Making fun of what you said Say you're looking for affection Won't you look at me instead? No peace for the wicked We're dancing till we drop No rest for the wicked And we're all too scared to stop (There's no peace) No peace for the wicked We're dancing till we drop (There's no rest) No rest for the wicked And we're all too scared to stop |

The Gap
|
|
Wake up in a strange land, one of forty thieves And I see for the first time just what you believe I go down to the market where I can buy or sell And listen to the chanting and all the lies the wise ones tell They say East is east, west is west Two diff'rent colors on the map We say break the line, chew the fat a keep moving out into the gap Beggars in the back street, there for all the world to leave It's you that's begging for attention, well it's all the same to me And I won't ask permission, not from teachers or from kings Cause I can see for myself all the pain that you will bring They say East is east, west is west Two diff'rent colors on the map We say break the line, chew the fat a keep moving out into the gap Hey! East - West East - West East is east, west is west Two diff'rent colors on the map We say break the line, chew the fat a keep moving out into the gap Can you smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years? Dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred million tears? And there's no need to be so fightened of all the figures in the night Cause we share the same emotions and no one's wrong and no one's right They say East is east, west is west Two diff'rent colors on the map We say break the line, chew the fat a keep moving out into the gap |

Hold Me Now
|
|
I have a picture pinned to my wall an image of you and of me and we're laughing with love at it all But look at our life now, we're tattered and torn We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn Hold me now Warm my heart Stay with me Let lovin' start, let lovin' start You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll neverfind So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah, go far away But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be than with you here today Hold me now Warm my heart Stay with me Let lovin' start, let lovin' start You ask if I love you, well, what can I say? You know that I do and that this is just one of those games thatwe play So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry any more I'll even ask your forgiveness though I don't know just what I'masking it for Oh, oh, hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms) Oh warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart) Stay with me (Ooh stay with me) Let lovin' start, let lovin' start |

Storm on the Sea
|
|
This party is over, and we, we are alone and I feel so helpless, there's nowhere to go, but To storm on the sea No stranger to me Light on the shore So let the wind blow Carry me home Lead me to your door The room is so quiet Hush, don't you cry Daybreak is dawning cold in the sky So don't tell me your name I can't stay here Can't a cruel light of morning drive me away To storm on the sea No stranger to me Light on the shore So let the wind blow Carry me home Lead me to your door |

Who Can Stop the Rain
|
|
I was dancing in heaven, you were keeping time Then I read your letter, sent shivers down my spine Said our love was over, I was not the one If it lasts forever, forever wouldn't be much fun Who can stop the rain? Who can stop the rain from falling? Who can stop this pain that's drowning me? I could hear the sound of laughter I thought that love was in the air I was drowning in that golden age You really seemed to care I'm haunted by a dream, a giant human beings I wait alone for hours Love is never what it seems Who can stop the rain? Who can stop the rain from falling? Who can stop this pain that's drowning me? You always had fantastic plans, that I always knew And now you want to leave me out, so it's raining just for you Those changes that you wanted make you ten feet tall I tried to move those mountains but mountains never move at all Who can stop the rain? Who can stop the rain from falling? Who can stop this pain that's drowning me? Who can stop the rain? (can stop the rain?) Who can stop the rain from falling? (can stop the rain?) Who can stop this pain that's drowning me? |
